A Wedding Shower Toast

We received an email from one of our favorite eastern states, Massachusetts!  We were asked to decorate wedding dresses and wine glasses for a bride to be's wedding shower.

Even though we always say certain cookie designs are our favorite, these wine glasses really are one of my favorites! 

 We are lucky to live in wine country ourselves, and happy to ship some wine-love their way.

Wine to me is passion.  It's family and friends.  It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It's culture. It's the essence of civilization and the art of living.

Fun Fund Raising

Nipomo High School had a boosters dinner to raise money for the school.  They had asked us to donate a gift basket for the silent auction.  

We really enjoyed making a little bit of everything for this basket; cake pops, oreo cookie pops, carmel chocolate dipped pretzels, and the NHS cookies. 

We also added a gift certificate for a dozen treats of their choice!

The basket turned out just how we wanted, full of flavor and school spirit.  Everyone enjoyed bidding for these fun treats, but in the end there could only be one winner.  We were happy to donate our tasty treats and help raise some money for the school. 

Congratulations to the winner, Victoria from XOXO Cookies!  And thank you for supporting the school with your generous donation!

Gotta Have a Pumpkin. . .

Gotta have it now!

The weather has turned.  The warm, blue days of summer that we waited for sooo long to finally arrive have given way to more humid, cloudy days. When I left work the other evening, I noticed a distinct change in the air, and the sun was already lower in the sky. Where have I been?  It is almost October!

I absolutely LOVE summer.  

But I must admit, Fall owns a special place in my heart, and I am (shhhhh), a little excited! 

I had some extra cake pops last weekend, and decided to create my own pumpkins! Mini punkins are just so cute, aren't they?

The yummy spice cake and cream cheese centers were just perfect to satisfy my pumpkin craving. (For now anyway.)  

We have some Halloween cookie ideas brewin' . . . XOXO Cookies is ready for Fall!

Speedy Recovery

With a little TLC, anyone is bound to feel better.    Think back to a time when you were feeling a little down in the dumps.  How nice it may have been when someone who loved you walked down the hallway delivering a tray filled with good wishes after your nap.  

        

    Maybe a fresh flower, a cookie and some hot tea?

Maybe someone had taken the time to write you a get well note ~

Or maybe it was time for your meds ~

Perhaps they just wanted to share some time with you, make you smile, and let you know that they felt bad because you felt bad.   Whatever it was, I bet you DID feel a little better.    As we enter the season when all the school kids start sharing their running noses again, be prepared to do a little something special for your loved one to wish them a Speedy Recovery!

To your good health from XOXO Cookies!
